I understand that the Confederate flag evokes strong, negative reactions from black people, as it probably should. So it may be disturbing to see the flag while browsing the App Store, and this is something Apple justifiably would want to prevent, and they have the right to do so. But to ban the display of a Confederate flag within a Civil War game that you have intentionally downloaded seems ludicrous. Games like this seem quite educational and to strip them of historical accuracy for the sake of political correctness is a real shame.
I feel this is another sign that we are headed towards a culture that does not tolerate anything that might offend anyone, an intolerance of intolerance.

This is just the quickest, laziest, and a relatively ham-fisted way to get rid of the actually problematic apps, so that's what they did. Sadly thats kinda status-quo for Apple dealing with this kind of stuff.
